About KIBI

Mission

KIBI has been conducting courses on Buddhism and the Tibetan and Sanskrit languages independently for more than 20 years. As a result, many people who studied here are now successful scholars of Buddhism, working in major universities worldwide.

During the year, public teachings and short-term courses on meditation, Buddhism, and monastic teacher training are offered at KIBI.

Management

KIBI operates under the auspices of the education and cultural arm of the Karmapa International Buddhist Society (KIBS).
